Title: Adhek Goby working tips?
Post by: Ben Crarer on November 13, 2011, 08:58:37 PM

Hey,

Just after some tips on working the Adhek Goby, I could not get it to swim properly today, the fast surface retrieve worked as expected but I could not get the typical stick bait swimming style down today.

Conditions we good and my rod works sticks nicely in this weight range, thought there might be a little more to it, though I can honestly say I did not give the lure a fair chance as I only had a few casts before pulling the pin...

Thanks in advance.

Cheers  :)

Ben, Adhek Goby is a surface splutterer. Just work it with a fast straight retrieve with a high rod tip.  In flat water it can be killer for GTs worked that way.  In anything other than flat water I have not had any success
with this lure.

Personally, I don't think it is possible to get it to really swim like more typical stickbait.
